Non-surgical Nose Job Procedures to Reduce Nose Size?

Unfortunately injectable rhinoplasty by its very nature can't make your nose smaller. Very occasionally a 'liquid rhinoplasty' can create the illusion of a smaller nose, but this is rare. Injectable rhinoplasty is for creating straighter nasal bridges, straightening slightly bend noses and for 'touch ups' after rhinoplasty.

Excellent question.  Describing rhinoplasty as making the nose bigger or smaller may be slightly misleading.  Sometimes its not the size of the nose but the ratio of the nose to other structures of the face that are important.  Injectable rhinoplasty is very popular, and is always done to augment certain parts of the nose and can't be used to make it smaller.  However, injectable filler to the chin, or cheekbones, or elsewhere may restore natural ratios of the face and achieve your desired result.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you have a high radix and dorsal hump with an over-projected nasal tip. Surgical rhinoplasty is a much better option for you. Nonsurgical injections would just enlarge your nose and elevate your radix causing it to blend into your forehead which would not look good. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Unfortunately at this point there is no significant way to make the nose smaller non-surgically. That is because the nose is largely made of bone and cartilage which create its structural foundation. Similarly, there is not a great way to make a house smaller without removing some of the wood or brick that provide its support. The final component of the nose that can actually be modified non-surgically to some extent is the skin and soft tissue. In some patients with thick, oily skin of the nose, this may be due an excess of sebaceous glandular tissue. This can sometimes be treated with medications such as accutane or with resurfacing procedures such as laser or chemical peels. Another disease process, known as rhinophyma is another situation where the skin and soft tissue can be reduced to decrease the size of the nose without a formal rhinoplasty.
Hope this helps and best of luck!Kyle Kimura, MD

Hello and thank you for the great question.
I find that a lot of patients come to my clinic asking me the same question you have: is there a way to reduce the size of the nose without surgery. Unfortunately, the real answer to this question is no.Although filler or liquid rhinoplasty can be very useful for certain indications (i.e. to conceal a bump, to fill in a depressed area, to improve the tip), it can't be used to reduce the size of the nose. My suggestion is to seek out consultation by a surgeon who performs both liquid and surgical rhinoplasty, as they are best able to provide you a realistic idea of benefits and risks of each approach and will be able to match up the right procedure for your specific goals.
I hope this helps!
Best,

so far I am nor an advocate for non surgical procedures on the nose,  only if it was the case of a rhinofima, then laser to improve the quality of the skin affected may reduce substancially the size of the nose.

Think of fillers as being a form of camouflage.  They clearly can't make the nose physically smaller but they can be used to improve the overall profile and overall proportions, which may be enough to give you a better appearance. Ironically this involves adding volume, rather than subtracting so the only way of making the nose smaller is surgery, I'm afraid!

Hi and thank you for your question and for sharing a photograph for us all to review. The short answer is NO! Fillers used skilfully can help to disguise a hump or correct a saddle deformity to inverted V deformity but they cannot make your nose smaller

Thank you for your question. I would not recommend a non surgical nose job as this will add more volume. You would benefit from a full rhinoplasty procedure. 

Typically, a nonsurgical nose job refers to the addition of fillers to the nose. Obviously, if you are adding volume with the use of a filler the nose will actually be larger. However, in select individuals, fillers can sometimes be used to optically create a nose that looks slightly smaller by changing tip dynamics. Usually, fillers are used to help correct small contour irregularities in the nose however they can be rather powerful in their results. If cost is not a concern, a trial of fillers can be undertaken. Please do understand there are some risks involved with all treatments and be sure to discuss them with your surgeon.

Non Surgical Rhinoplasty can be used to subtly contour the shape of the nose to improve the appearance of nasal hump, drooping tip, asymmetries, and even imperfections after prior rhinoplasty surgery.  This is a quick procedure performed in the office where a hyaluronic acid filler is used to augment the nasal shape, with little to no downtime. While non-surgical rhinoplasty cannot physically make the nose smaller, it can create the appearance of a better proportioned nasal shape that fits the facial profile.  
Because of the anatomically sensitive nature of this area, I recommend patients seek the care of a board certified Facial Plastic Surgeon with experience in this procedure.  A consultation with your surgeon will allow your specific questions to be addressed individually.
